Pros:

Cercano a la carretera, hotel muy familiar, tranquilo , tiene cocina compartida, que nosotros usamos para hacer algo de cena y para desayunar, tiene cocina, microondas, una pequeña nevera donde guardamos las cosas frias. Hay que organizarse con otros viajeros, pero nosotros no tuvimos problemas y estábamos solos. Tiene un parque con cama elástica que ni niña la aprovecho bien.

Cons:

La habitación familiar para los 4, 2 adultos y 2 niños, un poco pequeña, tiene 2 camas individuales juntas y una litera con 2 camas. El baño es un poco pequeño, en cuanto al precio fue un poco caro, pero bueno estuvimos muy bien

自驾路上不错的选择
Pros:

自驾落脚点的不错的选择~停车位充足，服务人员都很友好，房间遮光不错，这在极昼的夏季可太重要了~酒店外还有一处包含秋千和蹦床（如果没看错的话）在内的游乐区域，有带小朋友的话，小朋友应该会很开心。

Cons:

家庭房空间略显局促

Good hotel and comfortable room
Pros:

The facilities were good in particular the camp kitchen. The room was very comfortable and the ensuite was good too.

Cons:

The kitchen was quite remote from the main building and although Booking.com says guests can use the kitchen, the staff said it was only for Air BnB customers. But they let us use it and we did.
